Roseville news

Roseville will celebrate Independence Day on Saturday, July 4, with a full day of events, including a community 5K, Fourth of July parade, family activities, live entertainment and a fireworks finale.

The day begins with the annual Run Crime Out of Roseville 5K run, which starts at 7:15 a.m. at Vernon Street Town Square. Originally established to support anonymous crime-tip programs, the event has grown to help fund specialized equipment for local law enforcement, provide youth scholarships and educate participants about crime prevention efforts in the community.

At 9 a.m., the city’s Fourth of July parade begins at the intersection of Vernon Street, Riverside Avenue and Douglas Boulevard. The parade route travels along Vernon Street before turning onto Lincoln Street and ending at Royer Park. Spectators are encouraged to arrive early to secure viewing spots along the route. The parade typically features more than 50 entries and lasts about one hour.

The celebration concludes with the city’s annual fireworks show at the Placer County Fairgrounds. Gates open at 4 p.m., with grandstand seating at the All American Raceway available on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees can enjoy family-friendly activities, games and concession stands throughout the evening before fireworks begin between 9:15 and 9:30 p.m.

Parking for the fireworks event is $15 per vehicle and may be paid with cash or card. Admission is free. Outside food and coolers are not permitted, although sealed water bottles are allowed.
